      “WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 2nd Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor, Constable of Windsor Castle, 1191-3, son and heir. He married before Michaelmas 1176 MAUD DE SAINT HILARY, widow of Roger de Clare (otherwise Roger Fitz Richard), 2nd Earl of Hertford (died 1173) [see CLARE 4], and daughter and heiress of James de Saint Hilary, of Field Dalling, Norfolk, by his wife, Aveline. They had three sons, William [3rd Earl of Arundel], Alan, and Godfrey (or Geoffrey), and one daughter, Maud. In 1176/7 he was confirmed as Earl of Sussex, but the Castle and Honour of Arundel were, in accordance with the policy of King Henry II, retained by the Crown. He served as Assessor in the royal court in 1177 to arbitrate between the Kings of Castile and Navarre. He was granted restoration of the Castle and Honour of Arundel by King Richard I 27 June 1190, when he became Earl of Arundel. At an unknown date, he granted various lands in Quiddenham, Norfolk to Reading Abbey, Berkshire. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 24 Dec. 1193, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
